  2. 2

    Drain the potatoes, rinse and peel. Press the hot potatoes through a potato ricer. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stir in semolina immediately with a mixing spoon. Let the potato mixture cool down a little. Stir in starch and egg yolk and let it cool down completely

  3. 3

    Form potato dough into rolls on a floured work surface. Cut into pieces. Form about 40 small oval dumplings. Press one side slightly with a fork

  4. 4

    Place 2-3 portions in plenty of boiling salted water. Cook over low to medium heat for 5-7 minutes (do not boil). Remove the gnocchi with a skimmer and drain well

  5. 5

    Wash basil, shake dry, pluck leaves from the stalks and chop. Coarsely grate the cheese. Mix stock, cream and cheese. Season to taste with salt, pepper and basil, except for a little bit for sprinkling

  6. 6

    Place the gnocchi and broccoli in a greased casserole dish. Spread the pesto in patches on top. Pour the cream mixture over them and bake in a preheated oven (electric range: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 25 minutes. Sprinkle the finished casserole with basil
